Dior Institut at the Plaza Athénée

3rd August 2009

Welcome to the Dior Institut!


Walk through the lounge of the Plaza Athénée, descend a mythical staircase, pass by a gallery dedicated to the Dior legend... here you are, the Dior Institut at the Plaza Athénée. Inaugured in 2008, the Institut reinvents the love story between Christian Dior and the avenue Montaigne hotel, offering an outstanding spa experience in the great tradition of the two luxury Houses.

Monsieur Dior was attached to the Plaza Athénée, throwing his Fashion shows in its salons and taking inspiration from its timeless elegance. Remember the “bar” collection in 1947... The decoration is directly inspired from Dior iconic themes: precious materials with plush, iridescent textures, delicate white and chic silver tones, "cannage" pattern and Louis XVI armchairs.

Cutting edge rejuvenating technologies


More than 60 years after, the Dior Institut merges successfully the luxurious environment of the Plaza Athénée with Dior’s cosmetics know-how. The Dior Institut benefits from the brand's stunning technological breakthroughs in the field of anti-aging.

A sample of Dior's expertise: 3D Lifting, a unique "body reshaping" back massage technique; micro-abrasion, using five star technologies to revitalize tissues; anti-aging active concentrates, magic molecules made in Dior's research labs to preserve the eternal youth of your skin.
